need to find something?

Hello! Welcome to my blog. My name is Marianne and I live in Melbourne with my husband and our very fluffy cat, Babycat. (Who, at 7 years old, is hardly a kitten anymore but she will always be our baby!) I grew up in London and moved to Melbourne aged 22 for adventure and for love, which turned out to be a great idea as we are now happily married. I love vintage, especially the 1930s to the 1950s, and can skip happily over some of the 1960s to enjoy lots of that beautiful and otherworldly 1970s stuff. Here I write about my life in Melbourne and the things that interest me: clothes (especially of the vintage kind), beauty, makeup, food, interiors, travel, books, films (old ones please), going out, staying home, cocktails in bars, dinners in restaurants, breakfasts in cafes, walking in parks, biking down backstreets, taking photographs in conspicuous places, drinking coffee in bed, my endless love of platform shoes, and sometimes cats, too.

sundays, some vintage and fresh italian food

Hello! How is your weekend going? Today we went to my mother-in-law's and pruned fruit trees, dug potatoes, plucked fresh salad and lemons and harvested a lone pumpkin. All while wearing vintage and heels. Well, me, that is. We squeezed in a coffee and home made biscotti break, too – most welcome. I am now going to rest up with some tea and maybe a film (if I can keep my eyes open, ha!) and paint my nails. Hmm, what colour..? I will post my outfit tomorrow – there are questions about it! Enjoy the rest of your weekends. x

Did you like the garden work? I mostly like it and I like it also to do it with nice clothes on. I always think I'll only spend there a little time and it won't pay if I change clothes and suddenly I notice that I've worked some hours, have dirty nails and my good clothes and pretty shoes on, ugh! But as I never destroyed anything I can go on, can't I? You look beautiful while gardening. Heels are great for doing some branch cutting! Best wishes!
